Sacramento is starting Sunday, August 16, with clear skies, calm winds and a relatively mild 57 degrees at the local observation station. That early-morning comfort will fade quickly as strong sunshine pushes afternoon temperatures toward 94 degrees across the city.
Sunshine Takes Sacramento To 94
Sunday will stay sunny through the afternoon, with a light west-southwest wind of 1 to 5 mph. The warmest stretch arrives late in the day, when temperatures reach the low to mid 90s and humidity drops into the dry 30% to 50% range.
Low 60s Overnight, Low 90s All Week
Sunday night should be mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 61 degrees. Monday is forecast to reach 91, followed by highs near 93 from Tuesday through Thursday, 91 on Friday and 92 on Saturday, while overnight lows mostly settle between 59 and 61 degrees.
Rain is essentially off the table, with a 0% chance through Wednesday and only a 1% chance Thursday night and Friday, according to the National Weather Service Sacramento. The dry pattern and low afternoon humidity make the morning the easier window for walks, yardwork and exercise, with shade and water becoming more important once the heat builds.
No Alerts In Effect
The forecast lists no watches, warnings or advisories for the Sacramento area. Evening plans should be comfortable after sunset, but Sunday’s hottest hours will still call for basic summer precautions, especially for children, older adults and pets.
